Item 8.01. Other Events.
On May 7, 2023, the board of directors ("Board") of Progress Acquisition
Corporation (the "Company") determined that, due to the Company's inability to
consummate an initial business combination within the time period required by
its Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the
"Charter"), the Company intends to dissolve and liquidate in accordance with the
provisions of its the Charter and will redeem all of the outstanding shares of
Class A common stock of the Company that were included in the units issued in
its initial public offering (the "Public Shares"), at a per-share price, payable
in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Company's trust
account, including interest earned on the Company's trust account (which
interest shall be net of taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay
dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares.
The per share redemption price is currently being calculated. The Company has
estimated it to be approximately $10.29, and will file an amended Current Report
on Form 8-K to disclose the final amount if it is materially different from the
estimated amount.
In order to provide for the disbursement of funds from the trust account, the
Company will instruct the trustee of the trust account to take all necessary
actions to liquidate the securities held in the trust account. The proceeds of
the trust account will be held in a non-interest bearing account while awaiting
disbursement to the holders of the Public Shares. Record holders will receive
their pro rata portion of the proceeds of the trust account by delivering their
Public Shares to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Company's
transfer agent. Beneficial owners of Public Shares held in "street name,"
however, will not need to take any action in order to receive the redemption
amount. The redemption of the Public Shares is expected to be completed within
ten business days after May 8, 2023.
The Company's sponsor has agreed to waive its redemption rights with respect to
its shares of outstanding Class B common stock issued prior to the Company's
initial public offering.
There will be no redemption rights or liquidating distributions with respect to
the Company's warrants, which will expire worthless.
The Company has notified the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC of the anticipated
liquidation and dissolution of the Company and has requested that Nasdaq
(A) suspend trading of the Company's shares of Class A common stock, warrants
and units, each unit consisting of one Public Share and one-half of one warrant
(the units, together with the Class A common stock and the warrants, the
"Securities") effective after the closing of trading on May 9, 2023, and (B)
file with the Securities and Exchange Commission a Form 25 Notification of
Removal from Listing and/or Registration to delist and deregister the Securities
under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
